Departments and programs have the option to develop bylaws to outline the specific policies, processes, and procedures that govern internal faculty actions and affairs. However, all local bylaws must be in compliance with the Faculty Handbook of New York University.[1] Chairs and directors who have questions or concerns regarding these matters should consult the appropriate dean of Arts and Science for guidance or feedback and to ensure compliance with the procedures and policies of Arts and Science.
